We were in Lowe’s a little ways back, as my wife picked up some paint to redo our dining room, which she said was much too purple to go with the rest of the house’s more neutral coloring and a bit of a turnoff for any potential buyers when the time eventually comes to sell.Continue reading “A colorful opportunity for learning”

Guys’ Nights – Bonding, Learning…
My wife has decided to jump back into theatre. She’s missed it for quite some time, as it was a very large part of her life for so long (and how we met), but we both felt when she was pregnant that it was best to step away from the stage and take some timeContinue reading “Guys’ Nights – Bonding, Learning…”

Despite current trends, super-heroes DO get better with age
I’m going to geek out a bit and talk about comic books and families. It’s no secret that I’ve been a reader of comic books for most of my life. The tastes have changed, as have the characters, topics, and nature of it all, but it dawned on me recently that one of the thingsContinue reading “Despite current trends, super-heroes DO get better with age”
The mecca of Mo
We have been to the mecca – the mecca of Mo, at least. This summer, we were visiting friends in Massachusetts (for a baby shower of their own little guy) and were just a stone’s throw away from The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. With some careful planning (and some early departure timeContinue reading “The mecca of Mo”
How Dracula Gets His Groove Back
Yes, every now and then I will do a shameless plug on this blog for other projects. Be warned, this is one. The latest issue of Holidaze, the comic book series I write about the adult lives of holiday icons at their favorite bar, hits digital newstands today. I’m very proud of it and haveContinue reading “How Dracula Gets His Groove Back”
Exit, Stage Right
Before our son was born, my wife and I were very active in community theatre. Heck, that’s even how we met, both cast in the same show many, many moons ago. We were both, whether separately or together, in usually two shows a year, but devoting a lot of our time to the theatre whereContinue reading “Exit, Stage Right”
Riddle Me This…
There are some things that you just never part with. Although I am admittedly a huge fan of purging and ridding the house of things that take up unnecessary space or has just accumulated over the years, there are still a few things that I know I will just always hold on to. Case inContinue reading “Riddle Me This…”
Imagination 101
As years have passed and I’ve moved from high school student to college student, part-time worker to full-time worker, then full-time worker in the news business (which is a 24/7 business), becoming a parent (another 24/7 job), I have found my window of free time shrinking more and more. That has meant less time forContinue reading “Imagination 101”
Puttin’ on the Ritz
It’s no secret that Meg and I love a Golden Age long before our own. As I’ve mentioned before, my sister-in-law always jokes that our little guy “won’t know what era he’s growing up in” when his parents are watching black and white movies and listening to music from the Big Band era. He’ll findContinue reading “Puttin’ on the Ritz”
